CRESTED BUTTE
BUS TRIP !!! January 10-13, 2020 Cost:
$330
Hello, Skiers ! It’s
less than two months until our bus trip to Crested Butte, and the deadline for
signing up is fast approaching. Crested
Butte snow has never disappointed us, and this year is shaping up to be another
terrific one in Central Colorado.
Bus trips are by far the most popular events for our Club,
and with good reason. Beer, wine, and
soft drinks are provided along with snacks to make the trip enjoyable. Combined with friendly people and a relaxed
atmosphere, the ride itself is a fun getaway.
During our stay, our bus will take us to a variety of
trailheads, and there will be trip leaders for Class I, II, and III day
trips.
Beginner and novice skiers will
find plenty of opportunities
for their
skill level, including the stellar Crested Butte Nordic , which is within
walking distance of our motel.
Rentals
and lessons are available there.
Check
it out:
https://cbnordic.org/ Our snowshoeing friends will not be
disappointed, either.
There is a free shuttle just a block away from where we’re
staying which can take you to the Nordic Center, as well as up to the ski
mountain for those who want to do Alpine or Tele skiing on groomed slopes (note:
outstanding Telemark lessons are available here).
We’ll be staying at our old favorite, The Old Town Inn ,
which has an indoor sauna as well as a covered, outdoor hot tub. Oh, and did I mention the free
breakfast?
There is a terrific variety of really good food
downtown. You can walk there in about 10
minutes or take the shuttle. World class
craft beer, as well as wine and spirits?
Check. You’ll find it there.
For those who want to plan ahead, look for Trails
Illustrated maps # 131 (Crested Butte / Pearl Pass) and 133 (Kebler / Paonia
Reservoir).
We think you’ll agree there
are more options than one could need on a 3 day trip.
Also, lift tickets for Crested Butte Ski
Resort can be purchased at a discount on line.

Today would be an excellent day to get moving on this.
See you on the bus !!!
